oh dear, I'm gonna do a story for EB, you know, like Maltz's story, except for EB. Man, it will be hard to choose what faction to start with. Or maybe, I could do all factions in one story! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss! What a idea!

If I was smart, I would have a witty punchline in this sig that would make everyone ROTFL.
I'm not smart.

Re: Countdown to Open Beta - Pahlava
Nice preview, ought to keep all horse lovers out there very happy!!
A question; one of the HA units its shown holding the bow across indicating that it's used the "normal" way, arrow on the left side. IIRC Parthians were using a "thumb ring", placing the arrow on the right side of the bow, is this correct or is it because it’s still WIP?

Um... did anyone else notice that the first cavalry unit in the list had BLONDE beards? Who are they? Galatians? LOL JK, simple mistake, I'm sure they'll fix it.
Anyways, the thing that made me crazy in the good way was the two handed lance animation. I assume this breathrough will be applied to all those Successor cavalries as well right? I mean, something this amazing cannot be left unused!
Oh well, even if the animation is not implemented, I'll still be able to put it on myself.

Um, Iranians were often blonde. They were "white", and though many were brown or black haired, blondes were certainlty more common in some tribes than other colorings.

Werent the Indo-Iranians a Germanic subgroup?, or am I mistaken?
Because I remember hearing something to that effect somewhere

In older texts they are sometimes referred to as Indo-Germanic while in modern usage we use Indo-European.Originally Posted by Zero1
Many of the North Iranian groups had lighter hair.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
